How we started, our council, staff and governance documents

How We Got Started

The AICSA was incorporated on 12th July 1973, pursuant to the provisions of the Associations Incorporation Act, 1985 SA. It is a division of the Australian Institute of Conveyancers and is managed by a management committee known as a Division Council. Day to day operations of the Institute are overseen by the Chief Executive Officer.

The Council

The Division Council comprises a President, Vice-President, Immediate Past President and five councillors. All but two councillors must be ordinary members of the AICSA (conveyancers). The role of the Council is to:

  • carry out the objectives of the Constitution
  • set policy and review annually
  • represent the views of members; and
  • act as ambassadors to promote the Institute and its members
